Metz, Ty Segall, Titus Andronicus, OFF! ****ed up, Ceremony?

I wish I had a diverse taste in music, but pretty much everything posted in this thread...I hate. Sorry. It's me, not you.

Reapereckshun

Heh. Reaper is the reason I don't even try to do this on here. His list is so badass and well put together, that anything else pales in comparison.

Yep.

I never had a true grip on just how uncultured of a hump I really am until I started reading ChiefsPlanet.

That said, D has done a good job on his list.

Next thing I know is he'll be posting his beer and literary lists, and I'll sob as I drink another Bud Light while reading the latest Star Wars book. :facepalm:

The Black Keys are the band that I liked from 2012. At least that's when I first started hearing it on the radio. They rock man!

Unfortunately, they didn't release an album this year, so you fail. :D

That's because pretty much everything else you here on the radio sucks dick. When something decent comes along it sounds amazing. I have a hard time believing people love listening to shitty bands like "Fun" and "Group Love" that are played ad nauseum. I can't imagine the red tape bands have to go through to get the suits at clear channel to approve a bands music to get played.

I pretty much stick to discovering old obsure punk bands and supporting local bands that I like.

yup

segall, andronicus (like, not love)

dirt bombs (detroit, mick collins is a bad ass, and this is a cover of a sly stone song)

jay reatard and all his older bands (the reatards, lost sounds, the final solutions)(pretty much anything on the Goner record label out of Memphis)

one local...tunabunny

Hardly revelatory, but can I assume you've checked out Cloud Nothings and Japandroids? Both released great albums this year.

I like to go on YouTube and listen to music that I already know about, then check out the links to related videos.

japandroids - yes

cloud nothings - hadn't heard of them, will check out

If you're looking for new music, spotify is excellent. Subscribe to a couple of music blog apps (Rolling Stone, NME, Pitchfork, TheFader, etc..) and check out their recommended albums. Also use the "related artists" feature.

Good stuff, Direckshun. I especially like how only one of the albums you mentioned is going to be on my soon-to-be-posted top 30 list.
